2019 Map of Crown Point

About this map

Crown Point and Merrillville anchor this 2019 survey of Lake County, Indiana, showcasing a landscape defined by residential expansion and a complex network of water management features. The area's agricultural past is still visible in the drainage patterns of Main-Beaver Dam Ditch and Niles Ditch, while the former route of the Erie Lackawanna railroad suggests the region's industrial heritage. Smaller residential pockets like Turkey Creek Meadows, Independence Hill, and Shady Lawn are interwoven with numerous cemeteries, including Maplewood Memorial Cem and Saint Marys Cem. These burial grounds, alongside landmarks like Liberty Park and Fancher Lake, provide critical reference points for local history and genealogical research in this suburbanized corridor south of the Calumet region.
